The purpose of the above chart is to show a general indication of how the long-term per capita water demand changes over time. The per capita water demand may actually be different than indicated due to seasonal populations and the accuracy of data submitted. Water systems that have calculated long-term per capita water demand based on a methodology that produces different results may submit their information in the notes field.

Your long-term water demand is 70 gallons per capita per day. What demand management practices do you plan to implement to reduce the per capita water demand (i.e. conduct regular water audits, implement a plumbing retrofit program, employ practices such as rainwater harvesting or reclaimed water)? If these practices are covered elsewhere in your plan, indicate where the practices are discussed here.    No changes

Are there other demand management practices you will implement to reduce your future supply needs?   No changes

What supplies other than the ones listed in future supplies are being considered to meet your future supply needs?   Well sites are being evaluated and expansion of the Southern Pines WTP is also recommended.

How does the water system intend to implement the demand management and supply planning components above?   Consultants and funding agencies will be contacted as needed.

Additional Information

Has this system participated in regional water supply or water use planning?  Yes, There have been many water supply studies over the years, most recently in 2024 by LKC Engineering.

What major water supply reports or studies were used for planning?  Long Range Water Supply Study for Moore County Public Utilities

Please describe any other needs or issues regarding your water supply sources, any water system deficiencies or needed improvements (storage, treatment, etc.) or your ability to meet present and future water needs. Include both quantity and quality considerations, as well as financial, technical, managerial, permitting, and compliance issues:   Max Day projections forecast water supply being needed in the next 10 years. An Asset Inventory Assessment is also being conducted for part of the system to determine aging infrastructure and priorities for replacement.
